Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 914 174. Behind the scores and rewards! The principal's pattern
As the two children bowed, the five rounds of competition were over. Haitao and Lao Tang submitted their scores for this round one after another, and the scene ushered in the most exciting and thrilling part of announcing the scores.

Captain Dragonfly, who had already joined the Victory Team, ran to Lao Tang as soon as he got off the stage, looking particularly loyal.

Xu Li came to the center of the stage with the score, looked around and asked with a smile: "Shall we just start?"

"come on!"

What the audience was most interested in was actually the results given by the "enemy" team.

"In the first round, the winning team scored 17 points, and the slow team scored 17 points."

Wang Xiaohu: "Ah?!"

Haitao smiled helplessly. How could he have deserved such a reward?

The result of the first round of discussion of the slow-tempo team was to give Lao Tang a score of nine and Hai Tao from the team a score of seven.

As for the winning team, Lao Tang gave Haitao a score of 10 and himself an 8.

But no one expected that with this addition, the scores of the two teams would be tied right from the start.

"In the second round, the winning team scored 18 points, and the slow team scored 18 points."

Mu Xin: “What what!?”

Everyone was in uproar again. It was a tie again! ?
In the second round, Mu Xin gave Li An a score of 10 and gave herself a score of 8. Now her score is equal to Li Ang's.

That is to say, the scores given by Ang Lee and her were exactly the opposite. Ang Lee gave her a score of 10 and gave himself a score of 8. Oh my god!
Xu Li: "In the third round, the Victory Team scored 13 points, and the Slow Combo Team scored 18 points."

Huh?! Lao Tang, Mu Xin and Wang Xiaohu immediately looked at Li An and Lao Tang!

When Senior Sister Xiao Ji heard the score, she was also confused. She first drove towards the teacher, and then looked at the car. The car bared its teeth at her and said, "No, no, didn't the teacher tell her not to worry?"
"Aunt Xu," Senior Sister Xiao Ji raised her hand to indicate, "This score."

Xu Li smiled and said, "I guess I didn't make a mistake in my calculation. The scores submitted by the slow board team in the third round were Ji Yang 8 points and Che Lin 5 points."

Haitao spread his hands helplessly, as if to say that it was none of his business.

Xu Li: "The scores submitted by the Victory Team are Ji Yang 10 points and Che Lin 8 points."

All the criticisms seemed to be directed at Ang Lee. Lao Tang felt that Ang Lee was a bit too harsh. Although Xiao Che did not improvise much, it was already very good to play it like this.

Mu Xin also felt that the grade Li An gave Xiaoche was a bit too low.

Li An didn't say anything, just waited for Xu Li to continue the announcement.

"The fourth round is void due to on-site agreement and will not be included in the scoring."

"Fifth round, the winning team scored 20 points—"

At this point, all four teachers and students of the Victory Team cheered, as if they had won a victory. And indeed, the performance of the two children just now could no longer be described as perfect.

"Slow-paced team, 14 points."

Uh. The four members of the Victory Team fell silent again. They looked at Haitao and Li An in confusion again. Although they were very happy to get full marks in the last round,
Haitao still spread his hands and said, it’s none of my business!

Xu Li announced the final results: "The final scores of the two teams are: the winning team has 68 points, and the slow team has 67 points."

After a pause, "The winning team wins."

There was no applause or cheering, and the scene was not too awkward for a moment.

"If you have any objections, you can start now." After saying that, Xu Li stepped aside and continued to eat melon.

The next second, everyone started talking to themselves, making it impossible to hear what anyone was saying, but everyone's emotions were clear.

"Okay, okay, everyone, be quiet for a moment."

The scene became quiet again, and both the children, Xiaohu and Xiaoche, were a little "angry".

Li An came on stage and said happily, "Let's not talk about the results first. I think today's event is very good. I think we should save this event as one of the reserved activities of our No. 4 piano classroom. Not only children, but also adults and teachers, we can make friends through piano, increase communication, promote each other and learn from each other. What do you think?"

Lao Tang: "Very good. I thought of a place, but I think ours is more interesting."

Lee Ang: “I agree with you.”

"Where? What does it mean?" Wang Xiaohu couldn't wait to ask the questions that everyone at the scene was wondering.

After listening to Lao Tang's explanation, everyone understood that he was talking about the piano salon activities regularly held by Mr. Chen from Yanjing University at the Jige Hotel.

"It sounds like ours is more interesting indeed." Wang Xiaohu concluded in a serious manner, "Ours is a team battle."

Everyone laughs.

Mu Xin: "I support keeping it. We will hold it regularly in the future, starting with the students. It not only provides students with a public performance stage, but also indirectly tests the teaching results of teachers over a period of time."

Haitao: "Invite parents to visit and enhance customer stickiness."

Xu Li: “Maybe we can add a live broadcast.”

Wang Xiaohu: “Wow!”

Lao Tang: “I was just about to say it.”

Senior Sister Xiao Ji: "Great!"

After some discussion, everyone finally agreed to hold this event regularly.

Li An: "If we want to hold it, we have to do it well, otherwise it's better not to hold it. We have to make sure that the topics and points are balanced, and not mix too much personal emotions and interests into it. Otherwise, this event will lose its meaning and will be no different from some other competitions on the market."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Li An: "So why did I give Che Lin five points in the third round? Because the topic of the third round was improvisation. What does improvisation mean?"

Wang Xiaohu: “Impromptu performance!”

Ang Lee: "What we are talking about here is the artistic value of improvisation, which includes changing the melody, rhythm and structure of the original song on the spot. It is about change. You said improvisation. All competitions are about improvisation. Are all competitions improvisation?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Uh."

Ang Lee: "When Wang Xiaohu came up with this topic, I felt it was very meaningful. Whether it is the teacher or the student, it is a display of ability beyond the textbook. If we just follow the book and improvise by reading the score, then this topic will lose its meaning."

"Ji Yang did a very good job, which is already a second creation. He added a simulated introduction at the beginning, which gave the work a mysterious veil from the beginning and was very attractive. Later, he combined it with Chopin's nocturne to upgrade the style. The ending also echoed the beginning, and the framework of the whole song did not deviate from the original structure. To me, it is a complete and high-quality improvisation."

The teachers nodded. Li Ang's comments were quite standard and there was nothing exaggerated about them. This was the truth, and Sister Ji at the side felt a little embarrassed.

"Look at Che Lin. Don't say I'm harsh. If I were, she wouldn't even get five points this round. It's very simple. The question is about improvisation. She just played a piece of music. It's like a Chinese language test. The essay is 300 words long. Write about a day on the weekend. The question asks you to write about what you did that day. You wrote a thousand words straight away. It's all about analyzing how people spend a day to make it meaningful."

The car nodded vigorously!
Lao Tang smiled bitterly and said that it was true according to what Ang Lee said.

Li An: "So respect the rules of the game. I gave Che Lin five points. If I give Che Lin eight points, how many points should I give Ji Yang? Tell me, is that right?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Teacher."

Li An: "Say."

Wang Xiaohu: "But the teachers' scores are very close."

Li Anle: "The teachers all played according to the topic, and they all played well."

"Is Mr. Zheng's treatment good? Is Mr. Haitao's melody line good? Is Mr. Mu's classical structure rigorous?"

"If you want to understand it thoroughly, then I am not afraid to tell you. In my heart, Teacher Mu played the best today. You are here, Teacher Zheng. Teacher Tang and I are almost the same. Do you have any other questions?"

Mu Xin: "There's a problem!" Hai Tao: "No, no, no, brother!"

Wang Xiaohu scratched his head: "Teacher, that's not what I meant. I just think Che Lin's score in the third round could be a little higher."

Li An: "If I give Che Lin more points in the third round, I can give myself some points in this round."

Wang Xiaohu: “～”

Li An: "Wang Xiaohu, let me say this again. Listen carefully. In the third round, I have taken care of Che Lin because your sister Ji Yang is six years older than Che Lin. Do you understand? Otherwise, Che Lin won't even get five points."

Wang Xiaohu: “Got it.”

Li An: "Same thing. In the last round, I gave myself a score of five and gave you and Che Lin a score of ten. Why is there a difference of five points? First, the theme of this round is sight-reading. Sight-reading means continuity, good pitch, and good rhythm. It would be even better if you can add some style."

"I didn't hit any wrong notes, and the rhythm was fine, but I didn't express myself in terms of style, and most importantly, I missed a bassoon motive rhythm, which I only remembered when I listened to you guys playing."

Car:?
I don’t believe it. The teacher said I don’t believe it either.

Wang Xiaohu: ".Didn't you do that on purpose?"

Li Anle: "Since it's a competition, I can't let it go. I really didn't pay attention and it passed in a flash."

After a pause, he said, "But I think my playing is fine, very good. Then I listened to your collaboration, and after comparing it, I felt that my playing was not good enough."

"First, I didn't have the dramatic opening, you two pulled it off."

"Second, Bassoon's fabric carin has been made, but I overlooked it."

"Third, I am your teacher, so I should be strict with myself. Since I am strict with Che Lin, I should be even stricter with myself. Does that make sense?"

Wang Xiaohu: "It seems to make sense."

Xiaoche seemed to understand what the teacher meant.

"So in the end I gave myself a five and gave you a ten. You deserve ten, but I didn't expect you to only give me a nine! I thought you would give me a happy ending!"

The scene changes! A quiet laugh turns into a burst of laughter in seconds! !
Lao Tang: "You said it yourself, you are not as good as others in playing the car, why should I give you ten points? I should have given you five points earlier!"

Ha ha ha ha--

Amidst Brother Xiaohu's unbridled laughter, Xiaoche kept waving his hands. Li Ang looked over and saw that Xiaoche's mood seemed to have become better amidst the laughter.

Hopefully it will be like this for the rest of the night.

Praying in his heart, Li An announced the prizes for tonight.

"The winning team's teacher gets the priority to choose the classroom!"

Priority in choosing classrooms?!

"Can we choose a fixed classroom for classes?" Mu Xin always felt that she might have misunderstood. She always used mobile piano rooms as classrooms in Shenzhen!

Ang Lee: "That's right."

Mu Xin was not calm anymore: "Is it the kind that belongs to the teacher himself? The kind that can be arranged?"

Li An smiled and said, "Whatever name you want to give the classroom, just hang a sign on the door."

Mu Xin: “!”

Li An smiled: "What else don't you understand?"

Mu Xin: "Without An Ge, I have already chosen, the second one on the left, I'm sure!"

Li An: "OK, Sister Xu, please make a note."

The second piano room on the left, Mu Xin was attracted by the scenery outside the window as soon as she entered today. There are mountains, water, modern city, and the unclear distance. This is her dream piano room!
"Master Tang?"

Lao Tang hesitated for a moment and then smiled, "Forget it. I can do anything. You guys can pick whatever is left and I'll pick the rest."

Haitao: "I'm tired now, hurry up."

Old Tang smiled bitterly, looked around and locked onto the piano room to the right of Mu Xin's piano room, "I don't like windows that are too big, this one is just the right size."

Li An: "Sister Xu."

Xu Li wrote it down.

Finally, Lee An drove to the car, "Students are given a sheet of music of their choice."

Xiaoche thought for a moment and said, "Does the teacher have to choose now?"

Lee An: “Within a week.”

Car: "Okay!"

Li An: "Okay, the event ends here. Ji Yang, if you have something to do, you can leave first. If you are not in a hurry, you can clean up the stage with them."

Senior Sister Xiao Ji: "Teacher, I'm fine."

Li An: "OK, come on, teachers, let's talk privately."
-
After a round of playing, the children were happy and the teachers got to know each other better. Sometimes, no matter how much you say, it is not as good as playing the piano a few times.

Several people followed Li An to a door on the left corner of the second floor. When the door was pushed open, everyone was shocked. The area, space, floor-to-ceiling windows, and interior decoration were all very classy.

"It turns out there is such a precious place on the second floor." Even Haitao thought that there was a storage room or something behind this door.

It turns out there is another world.

"Your office?" Lao Tang asked after looking around.

Li An: "I don't have an office. Of course, neither do you. Your independent classroom is your office. If you don't like working in the classroom, the area near the window in front of the stairs on the first floor will be used as a rest area similar to a tea bar. You can choose to work there."

Mu Xin: "That's amazing. Will there be coffee that is charged but cheaper than outside?"

Li An smiled, "You'll have to ask Sister Xu about that."

Xu Li: "When we were changing the water and electricity, Li An and I had an idea. At first, we wanted to make a place for parents to rest, but later we felt it was a pity. There is no clear plan yet. We may make a small dining area because the area of ​​our first floor is too large and there is no professional teaching area. So how to make full use of the first floor still needs to be discussed and discussed by everyone."

Lee Ang: "Work together."

Mu Xin: "Vote for freshly ground coffee if it is indeed in the interests of the campus."

Lao Tang: "I know a little bit about physiognomy."

Hai Tao: "That's awesome, Brother Tang, you've eaten both upstairs and downstairs."

Everyone laughs.

Lao Tang: "So what is this room used for?"

Li An: "Ensemble classroom and conference room, Sister Xu, please send the information to everyone. I'm sorry for all the hard work today. Let's strike while the iron is hot and hold a meeting about the first quarter enrollment and the enrollment concert. Come, everyone, take a seat nearby."
-
An hour later, Wang Xiaohu on the first floor was already sleeping like a dead pig on the bar counter.

Outside the gate, two sisters were jumping up and down under the street lights as if they were playing a game of stepping on their shadows.

"Linlin, you can feel bad. I would feel bad too, but it has already happened."

"We can't go back to what happened, but what we can do is to prevent something like this from happening again."

The car stopped and the shadow in front of her squatted down with her. After a moment, the shadow also nodded.

"So I think the teacher might want to get another kitten," Senior Sister Xiao Ji also squatted down and touched the shadow on the ground, "Linlin, what do you think?"
